Professor Tom McBride joins this week's podcast

Join co-hosts Mark McNease and Rick Rose as we welcome Tom McBride, Beloit college professor and co-author of 'The Mindset List,' a look at the mindset of each year's incoming students.  "What started as a witty way of saying to faculty colleagues "watch your references," has turned into a globally reported and utilized guide to the intelligent if unprepared adolescent consciousness."
